Built by Chris Wilcox in his workshop "DrTurbo" in San Luis Potosi Mexico
World class fabrication throughout, completely customized modifications and turbo installation, all work done in-house including; design, fabrication and tuning.
Everything built to exceed the clients high expectations, it is based around a Garrett GT4088 turbo, which is capable of producing up to 700hp.
This particualar car is a limited edition model commemorating Porsches history. It is #095 of a total 1953 cars built worldwide.
From the factory this car has about 270hp. As you see it now, with this level of modifications, the Porsche produces approximately 480hp at 10psi of boost pressure.
First time at the shop being fitted out with H&R springs.
Garrett Gt4088 ATP turbo with a 1.14 A/R turbine and a Turbonetics Evolution 38mm wastegate.
Chris Wilcox - built custom exhaust-manifold setup, wastegate dump pipe, turbo pump pipe, 4" intake and specially designed oil-recuperating setup. All steel is 316-grade stainless and TIG welding throughout.
Here you can see the turbo and wastegate; they are mounted to the rear-side of the gearbox and the wastegate has it's own 40mm dump-pipe venting into the atmosphere.
External oil reservoir before turbo oil-pump. This is to avoid excessively high oil-level within the turbo at shut-off; which would cause oil blow-by on the turbine and compressor housings.
3" 316-grade stainless steel dump-pipe, no silencers; what a noise this thing makes!
4" 316-grade stainless-steel turbo inlet tubing. It does a 180° bend up into the trunk to avoid dirt, water and grit.
Custom schedule 40 (3000psi) tubing for the 2-1 merge colector, which then heads back to the remote mounted turbo and wastegate.
Stainless Steel Tubowerx headers.
A general picture during build-up. These are the #316 Stainless Steel elbows that are used on all our custom builds builds, the Turbowerx external turbo oil-pump and the intercooler we used in this application; combined with Methanol injection.
Chris Wilcox from Dr Turbo has completed many turbo conversiones on Porsches. This is another Porsche Boxster - with the intercooler beautifully integrated into the trunk and ventilating fans underneath it.
The hood has intake scoops to feed in cool air. Also visible is the Blitz BOV and the 3" aluminium tubing- which goes through the fire-wall and directly to the throttle body.
